Monday

Monday morning they had a productive school day.   Then they went to piano.  Then they came to my work to pick up the water heater part.   Then she went to Adventure Kids for an hour.  I picked her up after work and we went to the 4H Christmas Party.   I had to do the final things for the mac and cheese and the kids were being gathered together for an activity.   So I told her to go with them.  Then all the kids were sent outside.  I checked on her when I was done with the food and she seemed to be having fun.   She said later that she was miserable with the cold and was trying to distract herself.   I don't think she really had fun.   She'd gotten cold to the bones.   Scotland joined us at the party when it was almost done.   He was on his way home from the rent house. 

Monday bedtime started out great.   Scotland stopped off at Home Depot to buy some stuff.  So, at first it was just the two of us.   I needed to read her the next section of the guide book in order for her to do her math the next day.   So, we did that in bed.   She talked me into reading two sections.  Then when I started where we'd left off in the Childcraft Sea book, she was deliberately not paying attention.  At first was humming to herself.   Then she was playing with a stuffy.   Then she was practicing piano in her head with finger movements.   So, I kissed her goodnght and told her that was it for bedtime.   When she isn't sleepy, she is allowed to turn on the light and read in bed.   When Scotland got home it was a bit late and he went in to tell her to put the book away and turn the light out.   Then he saw that she was reading her Beast Academy Guidebook.   So, instead he got me, so that I could peak in on her too.  We both teared up a little.
